Why I Hate "Danfo" Buses! by caramel007(f): 7:53am On Dec 03, 2013 |
For some of us still trusting in the Lord to get our car, we have to resort to the use of the public transport to get to our various destinations. Most times we don't enjoy this ride because their are some things that make it uncomfortable for us. I have highlighted some of the things that pisses me off in these danfo buses. 1. I hate when the conductor doesn't have change and decides to join me with other passengers I do not know. 2. This particular one tops my list. It happens especially when tall people sit behind me and they end up poking my behind with their knees. People with bad posture also do this. It gets on my nerve especially if its a male. 3. I hate it when a conductor leans over me in a bid to collect his fares. With his usually dirty armpits and body odour that can snuff the life out of a mosquito. This happens mostly when you are sitting at the end of the seat behind the driver. I know a lot of us have several unpalatable stories to share. These are my top three though I have several others. Please share for our viewing pleasure. NB: Moderator please move to the appropriate section. |

i guess is only lagos they use these danfo/farnagor buses. Some states i have been to, its cab they use, making it comfortable to seat down, no rushing to alight when u get to your busstop. No shouting if u don't have change. Dough i reside in Lagos but the life is here is full of rush. Sometimes is fun, when u see conductor & passenger argue for change ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

"wole pelu changi e, eleyi o ni changi o,o se jade nio." oh my God! How i hate that statement. Now the solution is to be proactive by gathering smaller denomination or checking passengers hands to see who is giving change. 3 Likes |

caramel007: For some of us still trusting in the Lord to get our car, we have to resort to the use of the public transport to get to our various destinations. Most times we don't enjoy this ride because their are some things that make it uncomfortable for us.Stop making it sound like you are the only one. If u know u deserve better, get a car. I have highlighted some of the things that pisses me off in these danfo buses. 1. I hate when the conductor doesn't have change and decides to join me with other passengers I do not know.This is easily avoidable. Make sure you possess small denominations before boarding. Stop stating flawed cases for the conductor to always provide. They are humans too. 2. This particular one tops my list. It happens especially when tall people sit behind me and they end up poking my behind with their knees. People with bad posture also do this. It gets on my nerve especially if its a male.This is one exception because it's quite difficult to avoid such situations especially for very tall folks like me. Now, consistency becomes the key; by staying in same position for a considerable while, the effects becomes negligible except u are a troublemaker.Some humans were created tall, Life is not fair. 3. I hate it when a conductor leans over me in a bid to collect his fares. With his usually dirty armpits and body odour that can snuff the life out of a mosquito. This happens mostly when you are sitting at the end of the seat behind the driver. Learn to cover ur nose, or hold ur breath or simply avoid staying in such position where you are prone to experience this. I know a lot of us have several unpalatable stories to share. These are my top three though I have several others.Thanks for sharing ur experience. I've no similar one. ![]() 2 Likes |

i have a car and still board danfo to work once in a while.They have a way of driving their way through traffic. So taking danfo once in a while gives me an extra hour of sleep time as i don't have to wake up too early. 2 Likes |

Though i like to use danfo as my means of transport but some things are realy annoying aboutit. 1. Fats people sitting on thesame seat with you== This is realy annoying, expecialy if you are the slim type, like me. 2. The conductor rejecting money to passagers, reason being the money is not neat or it torn, which usually turn's into a big arguement. 3. Getting to your junction or bus stop, you ask the driver to stop, but instead the vehicle get to an hailt at the third junction from your junction, this usually happens if the driver is on a high speed. There are much more, just that i dont have the time to put them all here. |

"Danfo" rides can be enjoyable at times on straight and long distance journeys with one, two or three bus-stops. However, some factors apart from the ones listed by the Op makes it more agonizing in short and long distances within the metropolis. First, "danfos" are found of "multiple bus-stops", they can carry people and drop them within 200meters. For a distance of 4kms/kilometers, they can stop 20 times. This "multiple bus-stops" make the ride more longer as well as the frequent "you drop, I enter, I shift for you" palapala. Secondly, "danfos" drivers are fond of and known for their notorious driving manners, I always stay alert anytime I am in a danfo and alarmed when danfo drivers are chastised by other drivers & road users. Lastly, I am a law student, I dress in white and black most times, I hate entering danfos when I am dressed as such, because by the time I alight from the bus I look like an agbero abusing the profession. My clothes do look rumpled and brownish. You see, the beginning of wisdom is the fear of "Danfos" to boarding cabs and keke napep. 1 Like |

Danfo operators are normal people like you with friends and families to cater for, if you don't like anything about them then you can exercise your democracy of the feet by walking to your destination. "Wole pelu change e" is as simple as what it means, whatever aftermath of not complying with that instruction is your own headache. And if you don't like your fellow passenger for whatever reason then go get a taxi or better still go buy ur own moto. Shikena. 5 Likes |

Very funny... Something happened yesterday in a danfo bus i borded yesterday... Lemme share it with us.. So i boarded a bus from ayobo going to iyanapaja(dos dat r use to this road will get this gist v.well).. We had to pass baruwa inside because the normal road is under repair..(actually it's beign like that for 2 years now) When we got to baruwa.. Some passengers alighted and a woman said 'gate wa o' i think the conductor had gotten info already that tax force was at gate bustop.. And for some reasons unknown to me they wouldnt be able to stop at gate bustop... So the conductor and the driver begged this woman, that she should please alight at baruwa.. She ignored and didnt answer.... When we go to gate she said owa.. The conductor ignored her., see shout!... She started shouting. Drop me at gate o drop me at gate o... The driver shouted back at her and said.. I warned you.. You will drop at the next bustop up,-federal... She kept on shouting if u dont drop me now just take me to iyanapaja!.... Nobody begged her to alight when we go to f ederal bustop... I was like wtf!!? 4 Likes |
